Add features for the poor sighted ?!

Remark: such a system could also be useful to Non-Blindes e.g. Nearly-Blindes and should therfore work with some graphic; I know a Nearly-Blind (3% Rest) who cuts his videos on the desktop, but he cannot read street names on the street. For such people some basic colors are very useful, e.g. red screen: upcoming barrier vs. green screen: everything OK
Give Accessibility also to a blind System! (Wolfgang Wasserburger 14:00, 19 April 2010 (UTC))

Actually we always thought that the cellphone would stay in your pocket, but this might be a usefull add-on. At the moment poor sighted persons are supported if using a combined screenreader with text magnifier functionality, e.g. Talks&Zooms.

As blindes estimate distances very hard, it makes more sense to tell them: At the next crossing - they hear that! (Wolfgang Wasserburger 13:54, 19 April 2010 (UTC))

This is a feature for points of interest - unfortunately there is not a crossing available at each pub...

The assumption that blindes estimate distances very hard might be right for blind born in particular, but not at all for persons that became blind at adult age. I know a blind persons that surprises me by correct estimations how far the railway lines are away. Blind persons often know the number of steps rather than meters, but very accurate. --Lulu-Ann 18:36, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

No graphics

There shall be text only. The text shall not disapper, but scroll up, so that it can be recalled with the screenreader.

As the system probably will also be used by nearly Blindes, it helps them very much to have some basic graphics. (Wolfgang Wasserburger 13:19, 19 April 2010 (UTC))

And it causes immensely more work, speed and memory in programming, downloading and rendering. Feel free to start your own project with graphics. This one is without by definition. --Lulu-Ann 18:40, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

| Route calculation preferences

The route with the least street crossings without traffic lights shall be prefered.

It is simply not true that non sound non vibration traffic signals are not worthful to blind persons. They learn how to detect the walk phase in the mobility training. --Lulu-Ann 18:45, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
